Beneath the Mask is a collection of eight different artworks from eight different artists that mainly focus on a key aspect of their identity. Identity is a rather complicated term to understand since it has so many subcategories. One of the purposes of this exhibition is to explore what makes different artists who they are and what is the main distinguishing feature of their identity. In today's society, there are a great number of people who struggle with their identity. Whether it be that someone is Multiracial, a member of the LGBTQ community, an illegal immigrant, a marginalized group, etc. People often struggle to accept who they are. The main focus of this exhibition is to explore how artists express their identity and, overall, how they learn to accept it. Whether it is through comparison, bullying, or by feeling alienated. Sometimes a person’s identity can feel more like a curse rather than a blessing. Different features are what make humans who they are, and in order for people to be happy with themselves, they need to embrace their identity. Through this art exhibition, one of the goals is that whoever admires the eight different artworks maybe they can hopefully reflect upon their selves and ask what makes them who they are. What is their main feature? Hopefully, after people learn what that is, maybe they can learn to love that part of themselves and potentially use it to their advantage. In today's world, there is beauty in diversity. All of the stories and features that set people apart from the rest are interesting and beneficial to keep the art world a diverse place.
